Re: !!!SPOILERS - TF4 AOE Movie Discussion - SPOILERS!!!
The scanning is an extreme negative issue for me. This basically give the TransFormers unlimited disguises. Why would Optimus keep re-scanning trucks? He should re-scan a different machine every day if he's trying to hide. Maybe an airplane? Then an Oreo vending machine. Perhaps a railway car. Couldn't he scan himself into something that looks like Galvatron?
I can accept most of the other so-called "flaws", but the scanning aspect keeps me from appreciating the new TransFormers.
Sure, the original G1 cartoon had Teletraan 1 scan and repair the bots in a similar fashion, but I can accept that -- having a computer conducting the rebuild/repairs. Although it was shown as a fairly instant process in the cartoon, I can extrapolate that the process would really take much longer than was shown. In the new TFs, having the bots reconfigure themselves instantly while active/moving/driving seems extremely unreasonable.
